Young Science Writer Award
Could you be the next ABSW Young Science Writer of the Year?
The Young Science Writer Award (YSWA) celebrates the creativity and passion of young writers who explore the exciting world of science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM). Open to students aged 14-16 from state-funded, non-selective schools across the UK (or those home-schooled due to disability), this prestigious competition encourages participants to write engaging, informative and investigative essays on scientific topics that matter. Whether tackling climate change, AI, healthcare, or exploring the future of space exploration, the YSWA aims to foster critical thinking, storytelling, and a deeper understanding of how science shapes our world. Join us in this exciting journey of scientific discovery and communication.
